It is time to add six more “keeper” recipes to the Kassel Family Online Recipe Database. I have added more than 75 recipes since the stay-at-home order happened in March 2020. The recipes range from main courses to snacks to sandwiches to desserts and much more. My 22-year old self that only cooked five different meals is shocked, but my 47-year old self is as happy as could be! I am currently obsessed with sheet pan recipes and we are trying two more new recipes next week. What a difference age makes.

School picture day has finally arrived for West Middle School!

Note: He has a polo shirt on under the sweatshirt since almost teenagers do not wear coats. I warned him that he would incur the “Wrath of Mom” if wore his sweatshirt for the picture. He rolled his eyes at me and walked away. That just does not seem to work like it used too.
This wine made by one of Andy’s Sigma Chi brothers is fantastic!

I really do not like having my picture taken. So, when the head coach of John’s baseball team said he wanted to put my headshot on the staff page of the Mid-MO Stars website, I was less than thrilled. Sometimes, you do what you have to do.

John took the picture and I cropped it for the website. I don’t hate it, but I won’t say that I like it either.
John has school pictures on Tuesday, so Andy took him to get his haircut today at Sport Clips. It is the first time that John told the stylist how he wanted his hair cut.

I cannot believe how old John looks these days. It is crazy.
